What I reckon===

The unidentified booming sound turned out to be ‘routine military training’ at a nearby military base. Playing the whistle and listening to the birds with the booming in the background reminded me of the Ed Ruscha painting ‘The Music from the Balconies Nearby Was Overlaid by the Noise of Sporadic Acts of Violence’ which is a quote from J.G. Ballards novel ‘High Rise’.

The piano improvisation was from one of my many attempts to write a little ballet and I was doing my best to copy Prokofiev’s Cinderella.

Saxophone Soup, I have no memory of making and was just living in a a folder called ‘saxthought’.
